As we typically see with Nintendo’s financial results, we have an updated release schedule for February 2025. The company is highlighting the games it will be offering on Nintendo Switch.
The main thing here is that Nintendo Switch 2 now appears for the first time. Outside of that, while things are looking light, we should know what’s coming for the console following the Nintendo Direct on April 2. There could also be a Switch 1-focused presentation before then as well.
The full schedule for February 2025 is as follows:
Nintendo just issued its latest financial results which gives us the latest update on million sellers for Switch.
A couple of new games appear for the first time. The absolutely massive Super Mario Party Jamboree makes its first appearance as does Mario & Luigi: Brothership. They are at 6.17 million and 1.84 million respectively.
Below is the full lineup of Nintendo million sellers on Nintendo Switch for February 2025:
Nintendo just published its latest financial results for February 2025, which is for the first three quarters of its financial year (nine months). As usual, we have the latest updates on Switch hardware and software sales, overall performance for the company, and more.
Below are the full highlights:
Nintendo Switch Online is kicking off the month with some new icons based on Super Mario Kart.
Outside of having an active subscription, in order to redeem the icons, you’ll need to boot up the classic game on the SNES app. They’ll then be unlocked. Note that there are seven character designs available and each one costs 10 Platinum Points on My Nintendo. Note that by simply booting up Super Mario Kart, you’ll be given 50 Platinum Points – so you can essentially get five of them for free.
Today, Gelato Games provided the final Guns of Fury release date. The game isn’t too far off having been pinned down for February 13, 2025.
Guns of Fury, a retro-inspired action platformer featuring a mix of run-and-gun and Metroidvania gameplay, was announced last summer. Though the original target was to launch in 2024, that didn’t happen – but we now know it’s just a few days away.
System: Switch
Release date: January 28, 2025
Developer: Compile Heart
Publisher: Idea Factory
Pick up any JRPG and the chances are good that one of the first enemies you’ll encounter on your adventure will be some kind of slime. The gelatinous mass of vaguely sentient ooze has been an unspoken staple of the genre since its foundation, but it is still often little more than a stepping stone on our heroes’ journey to greatness. The Neptunia series variation of this creature is the Dogoo, and it has usually served much the same role as an early game encounter that you quickly forget about. Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos puts the questionably adorable canine-based blobs in a more active role, and unfortunately the result is about what you would expect if you ran over a small blob with a motorcycle.
Beef Cat Ultra will appear on Nintendo Switch this week, according to developer Brainium Games. It’ll be ready to go on February 7, 2025.
Beef Cat Ultra is an auto-shooter at its core, and also features a Game-Boy aesthetic. After a mysterious Big Guy shows up and stirs up trouble and the adventure begins.
Further details about the game can be found in the following overview:
Capcom provided an update on its various games and franchises today, revealing the latest sales for Mega Man 11.
Since launch, the game has sold over two million copies worldwide. As previously reported, it’s now the best-selling entry in the series. Mega Man Legacy Collection held the record before that at 1.60 million with Mega Man 2 shortly behind at 1.51 million.
Jupiter Hell, which has previously done well on PC, is now making the jump to Nintendo Switch. A listing has appeared on the console’s store showing a release date of February 20, 2025.
Jupiter Hell is a turn-based roguelike shooter. It is a spiritual successor to Doom, the Roguelike – or DRL – and a tribute to sci-fi classics.
Takaya Imamura, who was the character designer for Star Fox, F-Zero, Tingle for The Legend of Zelda, and more published a blog post today talking about why he left Nintendo.
Imamura seemed to have his own internal struggles about the feeling of wanting to accomplish more at the company vs. wanting to go independent to work on his own projects. But then after receiving an offer to join a university for teaching CG and game development which would also allow for secondary jobs and the ability to pursue creative projects, the time came to leave.
Imamura also shared some general thoughts about Nintendo. One key takeaway is that he believes Nintendo is in “good hands”. At the same time though, he believes the company shouldn’t just rest on its laurels and the lineup of franchises at its disposal. “It’s crucial not to forget the talented individuals who uphold the value of those IPs,” he said.
